Perfect Every Time Pancakes

Saturday mornings are for pancakes.

Mostly every saturday morning, when my husband is home, we have a lazy morning in our jammies. I put on a pot of coffee, start the breakfast..... and It's lovely.

But it didn't always used to be that way. It's only recently that me and pancakes have become friends. Well, I should clarify- me and pancakes have always been friends. Me and pancake making have not. So pancake making was always my husbands job...Except they had to be from a box. But I didn't care, cause at lease someone was making me breakfast, they were fluffy and yummy and filled my tummy, and he always put chocolate chips in them.I just try to not think about the bad stuff in the mix that I'm eating. It figures too, cause his fav pancake mix is the cheapest, baddest, most bleached kind.

One day I decided enough was enough. This was stupid. I can't make a pancake??? They would always come out waaaay too heavy and thick (more like a dense bread) or they would be floppy. Neither one of those is satisfactory when my tummy desires fluffy goodness.So I set out on a quest, to find the best pancake recipe not from a box. I was NOT going to let pancakes get the best of me.

I came across a recipe that made me curious cause it has white vinegar in it and I remember hearing somewhere that vinegar would make them fluffier and give them a diner-like taste/fluffiness. I gave it a shot, and behold: The best, perfect EVERY time pancake you ever had!No joking here.

This recipe makes quite a few pancakes, but they are so good, we end up eating most of them, and the left overs I freeze for a quick breakfast!
